LONGUEUIL, Jan. 3 /CNW Telbec/ - Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut")
reports additional encouraging results obtained on the North Rae property
located in the Ungava Bay region, Nunavik, Quebec. The property is under
option by NWT Uranium Corp. ("NWT"). Assay results from 27 rock grab samples
collected during the 2007 summer field campaign further indicate the
significant uranium potential of the property.
Assay results from surface rock samples collected over three sectors (the
Tasik Zone and Torrent Zone and one area in the northern part of the property)
indicate values of up to 0.89% U3O8 (or 19.6 pounds/t U3O8). These results are
distributed as follows:
- 23 samples with values higher than 0.01% U3O8, including 9 samples with
values above 0.1% U3O8; and
- 4 samples with values less than 0.01% U3O8.
The Tasik Zone returned 8 samples with values higher than 0.1% U3O8: 0.89%
U3O8, 0.74% U3O8, 0.74% U3O8, 0.47% U3O8, 0.33% U3O8, 0.20% U3O8, 0.15%
U3O8 and 0.14% U3O8. This zone is recognized along a 0.9 km extent (see press
release dated November 19, 2007). Uranium mineralization is related to
pegmatitic dykes hosted by gneisses.
Two samples collected in the northern part of the property returned values
of 0.11% and 0.04% U308. Additional rock sample results from the 2007 summer
program are pending.
